Let me try to strike this message down to avoid the discussion from shifting
further to an unknown direction.

* Thank you for your offering, but Debian is never in lack of
x86/x86_64/amd64/intel/amd/whatever_you_name_it hardware for package building.
In fact, we now have some of the very powerful machines.

* The original problem described by
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/01/msg00134.html is a limitation
imposed by the choice of running compiler in a 32-bit native x86 environment
(chroot or real OS, doesn't matter). This limitation cannot be mitigated by
hardware upgrade.

* The original problem described by
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/01/msg00134.html can be mitigated
through cross-compilation or various build memory reduction methods. The
related discussion is already available in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/01/msg00135.html and later emails
in this thread. These mitigations are not related to hardware.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
